Chapter 339: A Blockbuster!
"It turned out to be 'La San'!"
"How dare he play 'La San' on the first song?!"
"Oh my God, the opening scene is actually 'La San', this person is either arrogant to ignorance, or crazy!"
"The first piece is 'La Three', and unless he breaks the intermission right after, he doesn't want to play anything else. This Liu Meng, what does he think? Fu Xi frowned and said puzzledly.
Qin Yunxian also frowned and said, "'La San' affects not only the performers, but also the audience. With the emotional impact of 'pulling three', the audience can't listen to other piano pieces in time after listening to it. ”
Fu Xi said: "Is he messing around, Zhang Qi can't be an old fool, he actually recommends such a person." ”
"That's not right! You listen to his playing, it's so good! Qin Yunxian suddenly made a silent listening posture.
Fu Xi's ears moved, and the puzzled and unhappy expression on his face disappeared all at once.
He only played 'La San' in public three months ago, and he has a deep understanding and understanding of this world's most difficult song. Therefore, when he calmed down, he could easily hear that the people on the stage played the opening paragraph no worse than him, and even faintly won it!
Not far away, Yu Jia, Zhang Zhuo, and Sasa couldn't help but shout softly.
"Oh my God, the first song he chose was 'La San', and he was too brave." Zhang Zhuodao.
"And, it seems to be playing pretty well." Sasa said, and looked at Yu Jia after speaking, "Yu Jia, haven't you also heard Fu Xi's 'La San' concert in the United States three months ago?" How does this person's performance compare to Fu Xi's? ”
Yu Jialiu's eyebrows were slightly frowned. Said: "If you only talk about it from the previous paragraph, he seems to be indistinguishable from Fu Xi. However, the more 'pull three' goes to the back, the more it tests its skills, and what it will do will have to wait until the performance is over. ”
Not far behind the three female pianos sat a reporter. Secretly heard the discussion of the three people, and couldn't help but show surprise. After thinking about it, the reporter immediately quickly recorded it in his notebook.
Most of the people present knew piano music, so they soon heard that Liu Meng's performance of 'La San' was not low. So, after being shocked, he didn't dare to despise Liu Meng anymore, and he sounded seriously.
In fact, even if you don't take it seriously, you can't do it, because of the strong emotional shock of 'La San'. It's easy to get immersed. And a super high-level 'La San', this attraction is even stronger.
By the end of the song, many people were still immersed in that great emotional shock. Don't extricate yourself.
After a few more seconds, someone finally came to their senses and couldn't help but applaud.
In concerts, especially piano recitals. Generally, there is no applause. Because applause can ruin the pianist's next performance. However, now that Liu Meng's 'La San' has been played, it will definitely take a while to wait for the next song, and the audience can applaud to express their surging mood.
The applause of more than 100 people was not big in Hall 2, but it was clear and crisp, showing the audience's respect and admiration for Liu Meng's performance of 'La San'.
Seeing that Liu Meng was adjusting on stage and did not continue to play the next song, the audience couldn't help but discuss.
It's also the central side. There were two foreigners seated, and Zhang Qi was also sitting next to him.
One of them, the bald and bearded, said, "Zhang." This man's 'La San' performance is even better than Fu Xi's. It seems that there is another palace-level piano master in your country. ”
Zhang Qi smiled modestly and said, "I also listened to his 'pull three', so I invited you to listen to this concert." ”
Another with meticulous hair and beard said: "Although this Liu's successful performance of 'La San' at the beginning is shocking, I am very worried about his current state, can he continue to challenge the next difficult song?" Zhang, it's time for you to explain exactly how this gentleman's concert repertoire is arranged, right? ”
Zhang Qi said: "What's the hurry, you will understand when he plays the second piece later." ”
A few minutes later, Liu Meng tried the sound again, and the audience fell silent.
When the first note of the second piece floated out, Qin Yunxian and Fu Xi both showed shocked expressions. This second piece, Liu Meng's performance is Liszt's "Ghost Fire"!
Although not all of the world's top 10 difficult piano pieces are recognized, three of Liszt's pieces are all recognized. This "Ghost Fire" is ranked seventh among them, and it has a difficult two-tone technique, which is the most difficult of Liszt's "12 Superb Technique Etudes". Not to mention the technical tricks required, it must also be played lightly and funly to convince people.
If the "pull three" just now is an extreme test of the performer's mental and physical strength, then "Ghost Fire" is an extreme test of the performer's skills.
So, after his physical strength and spirit are consumed by "pulling three", can Liu Meng still show the super high skills required by "Ghost Fire"?
Fu Xi, Qin Yunxian, and the other piano masters present couldn't help but show suspicion after being shocked.
However, as the fun-sounding piano sounds like happy elves flying around the hall to form a light and energetic piano music, the skeptical look on the listeners' faces gradually faded and turned into shock again.
Even if it was a song "La San" that made the piano everyone present recognize Liu Meng's strength, they couldn't imagine that Liu Meng could play a super skilled piece like "Ghost Fire" after just a few minutes of rest.
In addition, Liu Meng's performance skills in "Ghost Fire" are better than most piano players in recent years.
However, Liu Meng's shock to everyone is not only that.
After "Ghost Fire", Liu Meng stopped for just over a minute before playing another Liszt piece - "Don Juan's Memories"!
If "Ghost Fire" is only difficult in terms of technique, then "Memories of Don Juan" is a piece that is difficult in terms of technique, rhythm, scene, and emotional expression. The addition of several difficulties is not just equal to the sum, but multiplies the difficulty of this piece.
"Memories of Don Juan" is Liszt's adaptation of Mozart's opera "Don Juan", which blends more than two hours of opera into a piano piece. Not a single note in the song was deleted, the technique was so difficult and the scene was so grand. It can well be imagined.
Therefore, "Memories of Don Juan" ranks fourth in the world's top ten difficult songs, and few people play them.
When the notes of "Don Juan's Memories" wafted out, Fu Xi and Qin Yunxian couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a look of shock in each other's eyes-this Liu Meng seems to be really going to be a blockbuster.
Today's piano recital, regardless of Liu Meng's later performance. The fact that he was able to play these three pieces alone was enough to become the first-class figure among the young piano masters. Even compared with Fu Xi and Qin Yunxian, they are just missing those honors.
When "Memories of Don Juan" ended. Another adjustment interval of one or two minutes entered.
Fu Xi said: "If I guess correctly, the next should be Liszt's last "Bell" among the ten difficult songs." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe it's the Dance of Death." Qin Yunxian said.
"Bell" and "Dance of Death" belong to the kind of ten difficult songs in the world that are not recognized, and they are both ranked last.
At this time, the two of them already somewhat understood Liu Meng's intention of arranging the repertoire like this - the shock brought to the audience by "La San" was too great. First neutralize with the lightness of "Ghost Fire". Then alleviate it with "Don Juan's Memories", and wait until "Bell" or "Dance of Death" to basically eliminate the influence of "La San".
Frowning, Fu Xi said: "Actually, I still can't figure it out a little - why didn't he play Liszt's three pieces first, and then end the intermission with 'pulling three'?" ”
Qin Yunxian didn't speak, because he couldn't figure it out either.
Without waiting for the two to think deeply, when Liu Meng played the fourth tune, the two of them were stunned for a moment - the fourth piece played by Liu Meng. It turned out to be not "The Bell" and "Dance of Death" as they had guessed, but Liszt's "The Great Fantasy of the Bells"!
The reason why "The Great Fantasy of the Bells" did not enter the world's top ten difficult songs. It is because of its transcendent status in piano music. It is precisely because of the appearance of "The Great Fantasy of the Bells" that the piano has changed from an instrument in the band to an independent orchestra, an all-encompassing musical universe!
The difficulty of its performance, if you have to rank among the top ten difficult songs in the world, is definitely among the top three. Because of its simplified version of "Bell", it ranks eighth and ninth in the world's top ten difficult songs.
After the end of the song "Bell Fantasy", the audience could not calm down, and they were all shocked.
When Liu Meng stood up from the piano and bowed slightly to everyone in the audience, indicating that it was time for the intermission, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause!
At the same time, there are all kinds of discussions and admiration.
"This Liu Meng is going against the sky! From 'La San' to Liszt's three most difficult pieces, I'm afraid that even Fu Xi and Qin Yunxian, who are present today, dare not guarantee that they can play well! ”
"If Fu Xi's 'La San' is not an ensemble but a solo, it may not be as good as Liu Meng."
"It's really strange that such a great piano master had no fame at all before, and he was simply born out of thin air, a blockbuster."
“”
When the applause finally fell, and the voice of discussion and admiration also decreased, Liu Meng spoke.
"Next came my intermission, and in order to avoid boredom, I asked two of my students to come up and play two piano pieces for everyone."
After Liu Meng finished speaking, he bowed slightly and went backstage.
When the audience heard Liu Meng's words, they were all surprised, but they didn't expect Liu Meng to let the students perform during the intermission.
Fu Xi looked at the direction in which Liu Meng disappeared and said, "I finally understand why his repertoire is arranged like that, it turns out that I am afraid that 'La San' will affect the performance of his two students." ”
Qin Yunxian also looked at the direction in which Liu Meng disappeared and said, "What does this person say-the strength is boundless, and he is also confident to the boundless." The first time I played a piano solo, I not only had to make myself a blockbuster, but I also had to bring two students to get wet. ”
Fu Xi smiled after hearing this: "It's not so easy for students to get into the teacher's light, they have to be strong enough." ”
Obviously, although Fu Xi recognized Liu Meng's strength, he didn't think that Liu Meng could teach students at such a young age.
